Default Thought's on replacing dr seat covers vs whole set

My drivers seat on car I just bought has the bolsters wore through and the foam squashed. But the passenger and rear seats are absolutely perfect. A new set of covers is 1150 from 6LE designs which is a good price for great stuff. I found a set of v6 seats that are perfect to use the foam out of to rebuild the drivers seat.

But, I found a set of seat covers for the drivers seat for about 430 that are 20K mile OEM seat covers and perfect shape.

General thought's and ideas from others which way to go.

if everything in the car except driver seat is perfect as you say why replace everything for triple the price of just fixing the drivers side?

We can make you a seat cover for just the driver side. We have a book that the manufacturer claims it is OEM matching stuff we've just been reluctant to advertise it since I'm still worried about variations in color due to OEM process and just time.

E-mail me if you want to be our guinea pig at cost... madelisle@yahoo.com

You should be able to find a nice passengers seat cover pretty easy....the secret is that cover will fit your drivers seat perfectly.

Trans Am guys can do this and keep their driver side head rest but Camaro guys can't due to the holes from the seatbelt guide.
